*Formal Living room (8 footer fake always fake) 3000 lights 3 surge protectors and it heat the room.
*Muffy Bear Tree (7 footer fake) The wife has doubles of all the North American Bear Company Vanderbear Collection started in 1983. This tree has nothing but Muffy Bear Collection on it all 26 Christmas Bear Collection. The other 26 Bears are in storage boxes down stairs

We have the tradition of putting it up on my birthday and taking it down new years. Roughly 3 weeks up total.
This year, with my wild cat, I'm sort of afraid to...

Usually right after Thanksgiving. Thats how my family always did it but I don't always put one up. Depends on what I am doing that year for Christmas. Since we are doing Christmas for mine and my girl's family this year we will probably put one up.

We are in the market for a new pre-lit tree. Our old one is kinda pathetic (6.5' tall) so we are looking for a 9' tree. Hopefully we will find one in the next few days and can put it up this weekend.

We put ours up this weekend. It's a 12' (I believe) fake tree. We don't really like fake trees, but we have high ceilings in our living room (~20 ft), so buying a live tree every year of the right size would be prohibitively expensive.
